    Summary

    "Christ, English, how much did you have?"

    "Not enough," Arthur slurred, blinking languidly. "Not if I can still hear my fucking thoughts."

    So it was one of those evenings. Parker sighed, and began the long walk home.

    Summary

    Arthur's mouth twitches, then opens before closing again. There's a clear internal debate happening that Parker doesn't want to interrupt. After a long moment, Arthur looks at him, and something freezes in his chest.

    "March is when my wife died and my daughter was born. My birthday is today."

    Alright, fine, a gutpunch would've hurt less but he knows now and understanding is half the battle.

    "You have plans?" Parker manages to ask past the lump in his throat. Arthur laughs, a single barked vocalization.

    "No, usually I'm…" He trails off, gaze going back to look at the ceiling. "Usually I find a way to distract myself."
